This project aims to discover how local farming communities’ practical knowledge can improve food security. 795 million undernourished people rely on small farmers for food. To protect these farmers from multinational agribusiness and climate change, this project will examine how small farmers turn useful plant material into cultivated crops through plant selection and breeding under conditions of climate change; identify how regulatory structures in India and Indonesia help or hinder this process; and identify opportunities to apply local knowledge and its regulatory framework in Australia. Better understanding local conditions should benefit regulators, NGOs, businesses and aid agencies.

该项目旨在发现当地农业社区的实用知识如何改善粮食安全。7.95亿营养不良的人依赖小农户提供食物。为了保护这些农民免受跨国农业企业和气候变化的影响，该项目将研究小农如何在气候变化条件下通过植物选择和育种将有用的植物材料转化为栽培作物；确定印度和印度尼西亚的监管结构如何帮助或阻碍这一进程；以及确定在澳大利亚应用当地知识及其监管框架的机会。更好地了解当地情况应该会让监管机构、非政府组织、企业和援助机构受益。
